Museum Notes: Fall 2005

I’ve been asked about the current status of our museum and wanted to let everyone know that we are indeed still moving forward. It all just takes more time than we’d like – so please take heart and stick with us!

President Steve Rose has been working closely with the Bank of the West’s administrators and talking to several contractors (all of whom are busier than ever). While the space has much potential, it also has many challenges and everything has to be up to code and have full access before we can open our doors to the public.

We are heartened by the interest and support of not only the CCHS membership, but the community at large and know that the time spent in planning and preparing will pay off with many dividends down the road.

In the near future, I hope to be setting up volunteer work teams to start on the archiving, filing, and categorizing of our wonderful collection of memorabilia and documents, and I look forward to working with many of you and several projects.

In the meantime, please visit the Gragg sculpture exhibit in the CCHS display case at the eastside of the downtown Pacific Culver Stadium 12 cinema complex. A new set of sculptures will be rotated into the case very soon.
